Circle of Fra Giovanni da Fiesole, called Fra Angelico
(Vicchio 1400–1455 Rome)
Madonna and Child,
tempera on panel, gold ground, 89 x 43 cm, framed
A precise and delicate underdrawing, made with a thin brush, with very small changes, can be seen in IR reflectograms (see fig. 1), together with some thin incisions in some folds of the clothes.
Indigo is among the pigments detected by reflectance spectroscopy in the first layer (underlayer or priming) of the Madonna’s dark cloak.
We are grateful to Gianluca Poldi for his technical analysis of the present painting.
